| We are on the verge of firing our nanny. We are 3 weeks in and she had missed 8 days of work. She was late 4 of the 6 days she did work.The first two were for a family emergency, the second time was the flu, and the third time she was in the hospital for food poisoning. We do like her and she's good with the baby but we need reliability. Is it reasonable to fire her but not pay sick days? We feel she should get the pay for hours worked and that a it. |

Do you have anything in your contract?
We have a clause allowing for termination within the first 30 days, by either party, without cause. That would be an easy solution, but I think that given what you're describing you can simply say that it seems clear that she is unable to commit to full time employment right now and you wish her well. |
